10/08/24 midday – Kirtanakiya-bhakti (English) | Alto Paraiso, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • Harikatha is kirtana, because the movement of the lips is considered kirtana, and the playing of musical instruments is also considered kirtana.
  • The three types of kirtana: whispering and hearing one’s own voice, only in the mind and singing loudly.
  • In Kali-yuga, the best is kirtanakiya-bhakti, because it includes sravana, kirtana and smarana.
  • Honestly, we are not qualified to speak Harikatha, but Gurudeva inspires us in this way.
  • Story of Vaisnavas on a narrow path of wheat plantation rolling on the ground.
  • The Vaisnava is always humble.
  • Arcanakiya-bhakti is very powerful!
  • Vidhi-marga and raga/bhava-marga.
  • When Guru and Vaisnava give a direct order, the potency (sakti) is along with the instruction.
  • Lila of when Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu saw the note written by Srila Rupa Gosvami.
  • About Krsna in Kuruksetra.
  • Sloka: anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ… (CC Ādi 1.4).
  • The Grantha invocation sloka, which is given at the beginning of the book, contains the potency and the whole essence of it.
  • Without the mercy of the Lord nothing can happen in our hearts.
  • Bhagavat-krpa and Guru-krpa is very powerful! Guru krpa hi kevalam (the Guru’s grace is absolute and the only reality)!
